Some of the shops I do, I have no need of the merchandise. I've been thinking about selling some of my excess on eBAY. If I'm reimbursed say $30 or $40 from the MSC, I can really list it for say $20-25 and offer free shipping. I'll just wait till eBAY does their free listing days.
I'm still coming out ahead $10-$20 or so. It would do great for some of the postal shops, get paid for mailing it too! Sounds like a win win to me. I have to be creative about making the $ act like loaves and fishes.
